Just a reminder that Sacred Heart is now offering Electronic Giving. This means that you can make your donations on the Internet or with your mobile phone, and they can be charged to a credit/debit card or directly to your bank account. Our hope is that it will make contributing easier for parishioners. There is a link to our Giving Page on the Sacred Heart website, and we recommend that you save that Giving Page in your Favorites to make future access easier. Please note that there is an additional charge for using credit or debit cards, but there is a button you can press that will add that charge to your contribution and reduce the charges to the church. Also, you have the option of charging it directly to your bank account which eliminates the credit card charge. If you have questions, please contact Larry Stein at 501-204-9074.

At one month, the fertilized egg grows and a water-tight sac forms around the egg which helps cushion the growing embryo. The placenta also develops which transfers nutrients and wastes from the mother to the baby. A primitive face also takes form with large dark circles for eyes. Blood cells are taking shape, and circulation will begin. The tiny "heart" tube will beat 65 times a minutes by the end of the fourth week. Please pray for your growing baby and his mother.

It's a musical about baseball!There is still a chance for you to catch the Vlilage Players as baseball players, their fans, and their foes in the Players production of D*mn Yankees. It's the story of how the underdog Washington Senators found a way to end their losing streak with their arch-rivals, the New York Yankees. Curiously, it came with a secret weapon that was just too tempting for a Senator's superfan to resist - at first. Will good triumph over evil? Will the Senators surprise star player save the game? Will everyone (except maybe one unfortunate "spirit") live happily ever after? To find out, you can still see this production at Fountain Lake High School Auditorium on Saturday, August 3 at 7:00 p.m. or Sunday, August 4 at 2:00 p.m. You can go to www.hsvplayers.com to order tickets.
